Common sense.

Replying To marmalade_farmer:  "You would love to be dead certs for relegation every time you got a promotion? Okay, if that suits you then fair enough. My point is a team should develop as a unit for four or five years in div two to be ready for life in div one or any upper div. What good is it to Roscormen to be promoted and drop down immediately isn't it? To me it just is a pointless endeavour. And it hasn't done anything for them in real terms. The real top teams mark them off as a dead cert two points when they get them. The proof is in the pie."
Mayo in division 2 this year
Tyrone in it 3 years ago.

Pre season will soon start for counties teams around the country or at least plans in place. Maybe Enda stenston is going to take the first few sessions. Kerry had there manager in a week and they are trying to win an all-Ireland. What's the hold up. Get the manager in place let him see the closing stages of the championship and see what he has to work With. My geuss is at least 15 players from the senior semi finals will be on a senior intercounty squad so it's important a manager gets to see them in a pressurised environment instead of a trail game

This is true but the reality is that Roscommerm will never be in the position that Mayo or Tyrone are in at the minute. As much as they try, and we know they try their best with limited resources but any time they get to Croke Park they just get humiliated and that is no good to anyone either.

True, but as everyone knows getting the right manager for Leitrim is not easy. In fairness the CB went after the task early and I doubt if is there fault.

So it's better never get to croke park and u won't ever be humiliated?

Is that what your saying
Tyrone should have given up so got humiliated twice in last 3 years by the dubs in croker.
Heck they got a record hammering versus Kerry just months ago, add in they only avoided a relegation play off on score difference after only 1 win in there group.
Roscommon 2 connacht victories in 2017 and 2019 were on the back of relegation from division 1 u perhaps put a bit much heed in staying up in division 1, learning when up there is more important.
Galway also have gone up and down in the last few years and Donegal.
Get out of division 4 and don't worry about us.

Kerry had there manager in a week. I wonder why. Any man interested in GAA would snap tye hand of Kerry mam to get the job. Leitrim, unfortunately our county is not the most desirable job.

Also, it comes down to what finances are behind you. The GAA will tell you 'county managers' don't get paid but the dogs on the street know they do. Sure club managers for the most part are getting paid. Do you think that Mickey Harte went to Louth for the sake of it.. not likely, Louth are alot better financially positioned that the likes of Leitrim.

As for seeing the semi finals, I'm sure whoever is chosen or even in the running for it will be at those games. They would be foolish not to be.

Here here. As a Leitrim man, I think most of the resentment is borne out of jealous. Well done and keep competing on the big stage Roscommon!!

Well Tyrone are different as they are always one of the top teams in the country, which you aren't. They can have off days and they bounce back whereas it just continues to humiliate Roscommerm.
That is what this forum is about, worrying about us getting out of division 4, but we keep having to hear how great Roscommerm is from you posters, even though it is bunkum. It gets wearing.

I cant believe I am agreeing with Roscommon supporters on this issue, but of course you too are correct. We need to move up a gear from under age upwards and be far more thorough in how we do it.

I guess supporters here tend to be a bit suspicious of Roscommon fans coming on this site offering advice, while maybe just taking the rise out of us.

I don't see it that way and the advice is sound either way.

That answer was asked for in fairless. .. We have to realise it's not the 90s or the naughties so can we just acknowledge Roscommon are doing decent on average across the grades with the resources they have and move on. And can we keep this on topic please ?!

As I mentioned before, I'd take an update from the county board saying there is no update at this stage. The silence isn't good for us stakeholders .

They are doing okay at the underage level which is fine. But they're nowhere at senior, so I do not acknowledge this no.
Yes there's plenty of threads on roscommern forum to keep those posters entertained. We don't need to hear how great they are on this one, you're right in saying that.

Whoever the new manager will be he has a gruesome task of looking over dvds of the championship games so far.

Some man with 16 posts joining a forum and telling lads what they can and can't do.

Look back through the posts no one came on here saying how good Or bad Roscommon were.It was mentioned Roscommon and Leitrim games in the early 00s were much closer and hopefully games in the future will be and you had to throw out insults.

What's it matter how many posts I have. I'm here to write about Leitrim football and it keeps getting derailed with musings on other counties. Shur that's completely interrupting the onomatopoeia of the thing.
